Value Add Adjusts for DH, Ranks all 218

The Value Add baseball ratings through Thursday include 228 pitchers who have made at least five starts this year. The biggest movement continues to be from the Dodgers Zack Greinke, who has moved all the way up to 12th. In analyzing the 3966 starts in the Value Add database, we calculated that given the same support, the pitcher in an NL ballpark had a 1% better chance of winning even after adjusting for the ballpark.

This is likely the result of having to face a designated hitter instead of an opposing pitcher batting, and so this has been fixed by lowering all of the NL ballpark adjustments by 0.01.The following is the rating of every pitcher, which will be posted at www.valueaddbaseball.com in the coming days:
